Amanuels’ story

This is a film about Amanuel’s trip from Eritrea to the Netherlands. It’s a miracle he’s still alive. Part of a project called This Could have Happened to Me, in which filmmakers give refugees a face in a time when they’ve been reduced to a statistic.
This film was made thanks to the very kind contribution of the following people:
Marco Nauta: DP
Mikko Kolehmainen: sound
Lidia Ogbamichael: interpretor
Jaap Wajer: sound design
Audio Network: music
Steve Dee: color correction
Studio Westerpark: studio & lighting
